Customer Question

How long do I...

How long do I have to wait until I do not have to report my criminal record? Also, can I clean my record in any way?

Lawyer's Assistant: Our average wait time is under 20 minutes. Sometimes it takes just a minute. More complicated questions that need more research might take an hour or two. I'd be happy to chat with you while you wait. The stories I've heard working here... The Lawyer will need to help you with this. Have you consulted a lawyer yet?

No, not yet.

Lawyer's Assistant: Please tell me everything you can about this issue so the Lawyer can help you best. Please give me a bit more information, so we can help you best.
